Question

Discuss personal or observed situations in which the "want" vs. "should" self, internal conflict, or emotions influenced decision making and the negative and/or positive implications. Are rational decisions more desirable than emotional / want based decisions, why and why not?

Answer 1

We often want any things in our life which might not always be correct . We need to do what should be done. We experience internal conflict where we want to do one thing but we should do another which we do not want to . For example we want to go out and enjoy but we should stay at home due to health conditions we can choose to go out but it would be irrational and unsafe. In such situations it is always better to do what we should rather than what we want because it would be the correct and rational decision as wants would always depend on emotions which would effect our decision making . Hence rational decisions are more desirable.
